My Childhood Sweetheart Is a Crazy Beauty
Chapter 125: A Dream of Nanke?

Chapter 125: Chapter 125: A Dream of Nanke?

Tang Chuxia glanced at her watch; it was already past one in the morning. She wondered if her family had discovered her disappearance and guessed it could have been a chaotic night.

She noticed that the blood flowed significantly from their wrists, but nothing had come out of the experiment. It was frustrating.

She told the old man he could speak.

"Tell me, what exactly was in that syringe?"

The old man stayed silent, but his body seemed to boil like hot water, his skin continuously undulating.

"Oh my god, are those bugs?"

Tang Chuxia wore an exaggerated expression, looking quite fake.

Tang Wanqiu turned away, but the draining blood left her feeling cold.

"Tang Chuxia, let me go!"

Tang Chuxia responded with an "Oh": "Why?"

Her eyes were filled with curiosity, lacking even a hint of sympathy.

The old man finally couldn’t hold back and managed to move. He raised his hand to grab Tang Chuxia but was kicked down by her, falling off the jade bed onto the ground.

"Tsk tsk tsk—old man, don’t be so hasty!"

She turned to Tang Wanqiu and asked, "You haven’t answered me yet. How did he make the transformation?"

Tang Wanqiu shook her head: "I don’t know either, Uncle just said to bring you here, she would let me return to the Yang Family!"

Tang Chuxia...

She looked as if she found something ridiculous.

Did she believe it?

Tang Wanqiu turned her head away: "He won’t keep his promise!"

Tang Chuxia still considered Tang Wanqiu dim-witted, which didn’t align with her character in the story, nor was there such a character according to the book.

Unless this was an act aimed at her, meant to test her.

Just as she thought of these, she saw the door open, and a group of burly men with black hoods entered.

Tang Wanqiu was helped up and had her bleeding stopped while those men surrounded Tang Chuxia.

"You’re cautious, but still not clever enough!"

One of them spoke.

Tang Wanqiu coughed weakly: "I’m injured!"

The person walked up to Tang Wanqiu, looked at her wrist, and said: "It’s not fatal!"

Tang Wanqiu swore: "Are you fucking human?"

The person laughed heartily: "Still better than you, we’re two of a kind!"

Tang Chuxia stood there, watching them coldly.

The person had already noticed Tang Chuxia’s gaze, "Miss Chuxia, don’t be so tense. We mean no harm. We just wanted to meet you today, didn’t expect you to be so uncooperative!"

Tang Chuxia played with the syringe in her hand: "Indeed, no harm intended. Pure hallucinogenic drug, an overdose can make one addicted, a single overdose injection can make life worse than death. If you survive, you’ll be completely enslaved by them, and if not, death is the only way out!"

The person was surprised that Tang Chuxia spoke so specifically, and couldn’t help but stop laughing.

Tang Wanqiu laughed instead.

"Scared?"

Tang Chuxia watched the old man rolling on the ground: "How can I not be scared? My dear sister was actually thinking about killing me!"

Tang Wanqiu shoved through the crowd, trying to hit Tang Chuxia, but was stopped by that person.

"Don’t be so barbaric, we’re all civilized people!" The person calmed Tang Wanqiu and then spoke to Tang Chuxia: "Miss Chuxia, I really mean no harm. I just wanted to say that we can cooperate in the future. After all, your sister joined, you shouldn’t refuse, right?"

Tang Chuxia nodded: "You’re right, but I’m really curious about you. Take off the hood, let’s be a bit more honest!"

The person chuckled: "You’re interesting, but not this time, maybe next. Jin Haidong has already returned. Is that sincere enough?"

He instructed his men to carry the old man out, Tang Wanqiu was also taken away by him.

In an instant, she was the only one left in the room, along with a jade bed whose blood had not yet coagulated.

It felt like a dream.

She stood still, and after roughly 15 minutes, a noise sounded at the door again.

"Miss Chuxia, there’s no need to be so afraid, there’s no trap. Your sister will vouch for us!"

The voice disappeared again, and Tang Chuxia could confirm they were truly gone this time.

Yet Tang Chuxia still didn’t leave the room but stood before the jade bed and suddenly kicked it.

That so-called jade bed instantly shattered into pieces. Underneath where the bed had been, she saw a line of words: "It’s time to wake up!"

Tang Chuxia: ...

When she opened her eyes again, she was still in the kitchen, with Tang Wanqiu unconscious on the chair before her.

Tang Chuxia: ...

She felt around herself, finding nothing, and the place where she had been pricked was also fine.

At this moment, the courtyard door was forcibly pushed open, followed by a rush of footsteps, and then her second brother and Gu Beihuai rushed into the kitchen.

"Xiaxia, are you okay?"

Tang Chuxia was embraced by Tang Jianjun, who gripped her arm for a long time to confirm before he was relieved.

As for Tang Wanqiu, she was freed and looked at everyone in confusion.

Tang Chuxia kept her eyes on Tang Wanqiu, but Tang Wanqiu acted too naturally, making it hard to tell if she was pretending.

"Second Brother, I have a headache!"

Tang Chuxia couldn’t determine if what had just happened was a dream or reality, feeling a bit confused!

Seeing Tang Chuxia at home, Tang Jianjun relaxed and glanced at Gu Beihuai.

Gu Beihuai had been scrutinizing Tang Chuxia, and seeing she wasn’t pretending, signaled Tang Jianjun to escort Tang Chuxia back to her room to rest.

Meanwhile, Tang Wanqiu was left behind, with Gu Beihuai continuing to scrutinize her.

Gu Beihuai had a bad feeling about Tang Wanqiu.

"Brother Beihuai, why are you looking at me like that?"

Tang Wanqiu squeezed out a smile, feeling a little uneasy.

Gu Beihuai: "We’re not familiar, don’t call me brother!"

Tang Wanqiu: ... But Tang Chuxia calls him brother too. Aren’t they archenemies? Why can Tang Chuxia say it, but she can’t?

"Why did you lay hands on Xiaxia? What was in the syringe?"

Gu Beihuai asked bluntly, with Tang Wanqiu shaking her head: "There was nothing in it, I was just trying to scare my sister!"

Even Tang Wanqiu felt the falseness of her own words, but Gu Beihuai didn’t point it out and instead continued: "You’re getting engaged to Hu Mingcheng, right?"

Tang Wanqiu paused for a moment, then nodded.

It wasn’t a secret, those who knew about it knew.

"Did Hu Mingcheng know you came here today?"

Tang Wanqiu: ...

Gu Beihuai stood up and left. He wouldn’t waste time talking with Tang Wanqiu and went straight to Tang Chuxia’s room, hesitating at the doorway since it was her boudoir.

"Xiaxia, you know? Gu Beihuai was so worried about you earlier, before I could even react, he rushed out."

Tang Jianjun clicked his tongue a couple of times, completely unaware of how interesting his words were to Tang Chuxia.

"Second Brother, he likes me!"

Tang Chuxia said casually, and Tang Jianjun flicked her on the head: "Stop daydreaming in broad daylight!"

Then he glanced at the sky, noticing it was indeed late at night, "Dreaming at night isn’t right either!"

Tang Chuxia: ...

What she said was true.

Gu Beihuai at the door: This isn’t true!
